Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with Polylang and Rank Math. It seems that you are experiencing compatibility problems, which can affect redirections, sitemaps, and canonical URLs.
To resolve these issues, you can manually add compatibility code to your website. Here’s a brief guide on how to do this:
1. Create a Compatibility File
-
Create a new file named rank-math-ppl.php
in your theme’s folder. You can do this using either FTP or cPanel File Manager.
- Using cPanel: Navigate to your theme folder (
/wp-content/themes/theme-name/
) and create the file.
- Using FTP: Navigate to the same folder and create the file there.


2. Edit the File
-
After creating the file, navigate to Appearance → Theme File Editor (for Classic Theme) or Tools → Theme File Editor (for Block Theme) in your WordPress admin area to edit the file.

3. Add Compatibility Code
-
Copy and paste the necessary compatibility code into the rank-math-ppl.php
file. You can find the specific code in our Polylang Compatibility article.

After following these steps, check if the issues persist. If you would like more comprehensive assistance, we recommend our professional setup service, which ensures your plugin setup is fully correct and adheres to the latest SEO standards.
